Amazingly bad production/mix-AVOID AT ALL COSTS!.......2006-12-10

I understand they probably didn't have a huge budget to get this recorded and produced. That said, this is quite possibly the worst production/mixing job since the advent of modern recording technology. If there are any guitars on this CD, they are merely a rumor. If you can hear them, you must have great ears. The songs are so soft and muted, Norway would probably be a good opening band for the next Air Supply tour.

Kick ass Rock'n'Roll.......2005-07-07

This is one of the best Stoner Rock releases I've ever treated to my ears. From the start with the classic Centerfold blues, via evergreens like Sins of the Next man and Birthday Pony to the wonderful title-track. If you have any attachment to the genre, and more specifically the Norwegian Duplex music collective, you'll love this one. Kyuss, Monster Magnet, At the Drive in, take a hike. There's a new king in town.

Excellent Norwegian Musician!.......2001-12-04

Espen Lind emphasizes the first word in the title of this album by underlining it on the cover. It's undoubtedly a comment on the "mass-produced" pop that's cranked out at an alarming rate by the likes of Max Martin and Andreas Carlsson for Britney Spears, NSYNC, and the rest of the herd of teen-pop cash cows. Having listened to this album, I can wholeheartedly agree: THIS IS POP MUSIC definitely ... some of the best I've heard in a long time, in fact!

From the ever-so-slightly Far-East-sounding melody in the verses of "Joni Mitchell On The Radio", to the hauntingly beautiful duet with Sissel (of "Titanic" fame) on "Where The Lost Ones Go", to the nearly operatic final cut, "Pop From Hell" (if you can imagine a collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Weber and Freddie Mercury, they probably would have come up with something like this!), "This Is Pop Music" is a stupendous showcase of Espen Lind's talents as a songwriter, vocalist (sheesh, can he hit those high notes!), and instrumentalist. Yep, he doesn't just sing, folks!

I almost never spend this much for a CD (whether it's an import or not), but I was rather impressed by Espen Lind's previous album, "Red". This album, I'm happy to say, didn't disappoint me. It's just as good as "Red", if not a little better, and definitely worth the money. Buy it before it's gone!!
